Although the ministers below were a little tired, they all had serious expressions, because what Li Ke sent back was still very important.
The first thing Chang Lin asked the two young eunuchs to open was a brand new map.
"Twelfth Edition of the Territory Map of the Tang Dynasty" At the top of this large map is a line of words like this. Everyone was speechless when they saw this line of words.
It’s so outrageous that his mother opened the door for outrageous things. It’s so outrageous. Good guy, Your Highness, you have only been out for less than a year, but the map has been updated twelve times? When did the Tang Dynasty expand its territory so quickly?
However, when the map was taken out, all the ministers still took a deep breath, because they quickly discovered unusual places, such as a vast and uninhabited place on the map.
This is true whether it is the north or south side of the Tang Dynasty.
Especially there are many more islands on the south side, and there are many small islands just below Luzon Island.
There are several large islands nearby. His Highness marked these islands directly this time: China's territory since ancient times is currently uninhabited.
Looking at this comment, everyone was speechless. Are you bullying us for not having read the book?
But of course they couldn't expose this kind of thing. They had to acquiesce in this kind of thing. Not only did they acquiesce, they also had to find ways to help His Highness improve it.
In addition to this, half of the islands next to Lizhi Island, Lizhi Port and Lizhi Strait mentioned last time were renamed to Xincheng Island and Xincheng Port.
"Your Majesty, may I ask, what is this New City Island?" Doulu Kuan, the Minister of Rites, couldn't help but ask. They all understood the rules of naming His Highness. Almost all of them were named after His Highness's sisters or by titles.
But in this Xincheng, he, the Minister of Rites, is sure that none of His Majesty's daughters are titled Xincheng County.
"Oh, it's Xiao Hengshan. I'm going to grant her the title of Xincheng County after the Lantern Festival." Li Shimin said calmly.
Doulu Kuan: "..."
So name it first and seal it later, right? You've all started to play like this, right? What's the use of my Ministry of Ceremonies? !
But looking at the Yuzhang Island, Yuzhang Port, Mingda Island, Mingda Port, Baling Peninsula, Dongyang Peninsula, etc. in the back... With the appearance of these maps, the national flag of the Tang Dynasty was also inserted in most of the maps. , although these places are not big, the distance and area make people speechless and a little excited at the same time.
They didn't know how His Highness did it, but it seemed inexplicably exciting.
"Well, by the way, let me talk about it here. According to the latest calculations from the Taishi Bureau, the earth we are on is indeed a sphere. According to Li Ke's naming, he called the earth we live on a planet and named it the earth. Planets like ours are called planets, and the universe is not full of stars revolving around our planet, but we are revolving around the sun." Li Shimin suddenly said a piece of news.
All the ministers were stunned for a moment. They were not shocked that the earth under their feet was a round ball. Huntian said that it had a long history. Of course, these ministers had read books and knew it.
"In addition, based on Li Ke's research, the Taishi Bureau developed a solar calendar based on the rotation of our planet around the sun, called the Tang Dynasty Gregorian calendar. This calendar accurately divided the year into 365 days, and the time was very It is very accurate, without the need for leap months or non-leap months, and it is very accurate every year! At the same time, the previous lunar calendar has also been improved and named the lunar calendar. The lunar calendar is conducive to traditional folk festivals, and the twenty-four solar terms assist people in planting farmland."
"Starting from the 21st year of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will implement the lunar and solar calendar, and Li Ke's printing house will print calendars. At that time, the calendars will be distributed to various yamen, as well as yamen in all prefectures in the world, and at least to villages and towns. "
"Also, the Taishi Bureau will next determine the area of the planet under our feet, determine the equator, prime meridian, etc. of our planet. Because the earth rotates around the sun, the sunrise time is different. I believe many Ministers who have traveled far away know that the sun rises much earlier on the eastern coast of the Tang Dynasty than in Chang'an."
"So, there will be time differences in various places. According to the model of our galaxy produced by the Taishi Bureau, where it is bright now, the other side of our area is in darkness."
"And Li Ke told me that his wish is that one day, when the sun rises and sets, no matter what time of the day, our land of the Tang Dynasty will always be under the sun! He said, this is called the sun does not shine. Fallen empire." Li Shimin said in a calm tone because he was over excited.
But all the ministers below were stunned. Good guy, if the Tang Dynasty really did it, wouldn't it be unprecedented and unprecedented? Then these ministers would have to leave their names in history, and they would be described by future generations. For them, it’s not about which celebrities in history they resemble, but which celebrities resemble them!
Everyone was excited in an instant, and those generals were the most excited. Nonsense, think about the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. This powerful title is for their generals!
"Of course, astronomical measurements and other matters will not affect your work. This is the matter of the Taishi Bureau. However, these studies consume money. Therefore, the Ministry of Civil Affairs must allocate a certain amount of money every year to support the Taishi Bureau's research." Li Shimin said. road.
"Yes!" Huangfulin immediately stood up and saluted.
Looking at the excited people below, Li Shimin smiled faintly, and said in a sincere tone: "Whether the Tang Dynasty will be called the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets by future generations depends on the efforts of all the kings."
"Yes!" Everyone stood up almost at the same time, bowing and saluting loudly.
Just when Li Shimin was injecting chicken blood for the ministers, Li Ke, who was located in Xianglin Yi (later Da Nang), was on the beach of his Qinwangzhuang seaside manor. This is the best white beach in Xianglin Yi. This manor It is slightly smaller than Qinwangzhuang Seaside Manor in Guangzhou, covering an area of only 3,000 acres.
But the scenery here is also good. At this time, Li Ke learned that the coconut trees in Guangzhou were transplanted by Li Dai and others.
Li Ke was the only man on the beach today, because Li Ke's wish finally came true on the beach at this moment, Yang Anning and the others were all wearing bikinis.
"Your Highness... Your Highness... I can't wear it out." Wu Jue and Li Yan said with blushing faces at this moment. The swimsuits they wore were much more conservative, not even bikinis, but they were also conservative swimsuits that were more common in later generations. But conservative swimsuits are also unworldly in this era. Wu Jue was still in a state where her sharp corners were exposed only after she was a little lotus, and she couldn't hold up a bikini.
"Then put on this." Li Ke said seriously, holding two special top-notch silk gowns in his hands.
Li Yan and Wu Jue were speechless looking at the almost translucent gown in Li Ke's hand. What's the difference between this thing... and not wearing it?
Li Yan felt that this was definitely what His Highness wanted to see. If she remembered correctly, His Highness privately told her something shameful about himself: Novices are in a hurry to peel them into eggs, while experienced hands only half-cover their faces and are slow to grasp. Twist, wipe and pick again.
